GOING:

Race 9 1750m

Track:      

Good tempo with Flugzeug and A Shin Danshaku leading the way. CROSS THE RUBICON (11) has been racing on the JRA circuit, last time at Sapporo Dirt when beaten 8 lengths but she was very good when placed two back at Hakodate. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. FLUGZEUG (5) has been in great form winning two on end before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Proven at this longer trip. Expected to feature again. GLORY (10) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Good again last time out when second over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including five wins. Contender. COSMO POPOLARITA (2) turned in a fine effort to win by 2 lengths at today's track and distance last start. Chance to get the job done again.
